This is the fifth in a series of photographs from
our cruise on ms Prinsendam

27 August 2014

Kiel Canal, Schleswig-Holstein, 

Germany

Waiting to Enter the Canal:
You may recall from an earlier blog entry that because of heavy ship traffic 
and mechanical problems at the locks, we had to wait more than 
five hours to enter the canal from its western end at the Elbe River
